Unveiling The Core Content Of Path Of Exile 3.25 Settlers Of Kalguur League!

Jul 20, 2024

Path of Exile 3.25 is set to launch next week on July 26th, and here we’re unveiling some of the key content for Settlers of Kalguur League to help you get ready before you jump into the game!

In this guide, we’ll take you deep into the new Settlers of Kalguur Challenge League. We’ll cover the mechanics of League, the old and new crafting systems for League, the new trade market system for currency, overall balance improvements including two Ascendancy Class changes, endgame improvements, and some quality of life feature changes.

Unveiling The Core Content Of Path Of Exile 3.25 Settlers Of Kalguur League!

Settlers Of Kalguur Challenge League

In Settlers of Kalguur, you’ll meet some familiar faces from Expedition League. Dannig, Rog, Tujen, and Gwennen are Kalguuran people who are trying to establish trade between Wraeclast and their homeland.

They have recruited many outstanding people from Wraeclast, but they are also seeking the help of powerful Exiles like you.

You will first meet King’s Hand, Johan, at Lioneye’s Watch, where he is recruiting workers, traders, and Exiles. Johan has been sent here by order of King of Kalguur to build a new city called Kingsmarch, which is intended to be a trading center between Wraeclast and Kalguur.

He will take you to the planned location of Kingsmarch, and you will find that it will initially be just a tavern in a field. But with your help, it won’t stay that way!

It takes a lot to build a town. Kalguurans will ask you to find resources that can be used to start construction. During your adventure, you may find minerals such as Crimson Iron, as well as other valuable resources. But dangerous enemies will spawn as you get close, and once you defeat these monsters, the mineral deposits will automatically be marked as mineable.

We need to find people to do the hard labor. However, this is a trade expedition, and nothing comes for free. Miners, as well as other workers hired in Kalguur, must be paid in cold hard gold.

Eventually, you can build a Harbor and set up trade routes between multiple different Kalguuran and Karui ports. You can stack your resources on these ships and send them to any port, where your traders will haggle for the best deal.

Each port returns specific rewards based on what you send. They accept all types of resources, but will have a preferred type that they are currently willing to pay more for.

Currency Trade-Market

The next update is absolutely huge: Currency Trade-Market. Kalguurans have recruited an NPC from Heist league, Faustus. He allows you to trade currency and most other stackable items asynchronously with other players without being harassed by price manipulators and people who never respond.

All you have to do is select POE Currency you want, say what currency you have, and your ideal rate. Faustus will complete the trade for you, as long as there’s someone selling at the same or lower price on the other end.

Since Faustus is an expert at Black Market trade and shady deals, he also offers another service: offering Items for Gold. These items will spawn randomly, and on average, they will have better modifiers than normal. This can be an excellent way to get some targeted items during the campaign.

New Endgame Bosses

There are three endgame bosses in Settlers of Kalguur that will approach your operation and want a piece of the action. These bosses may capture and ransom your workers or even your ship. So you have to think about whether to deal with them head-on or pay them?

One of these bosses is Sasan, Bandit Lord. You won’t encounter this boss by chance. Instead, this unsavory character may enter your town at night and take your Atlas Runners hostage for ransom. What happens next is up to you. I want to remind you, though, that defeating these bosses can drop new unique items.

Massive Balance Overhaul

Next, let’s talk about the balance improvements in POE 3.25.

Gladiator Rework

The developers have finally rebalanced Gladiator. Like before, there are some passive skills you can invest in, such as Bleeding and Block. In addition, GGG has added new skills to it to replace some old skills. For example: War of Attrition, which is very useful for long-lasting boss battles.

Finally, there is a new highlight of the reworked Gladiator, that is, you can invest in the newly added Retaliation skills, but you need to meet specific conditions before you can use them.

New Ascendancy Class: Warden

Gladiator is not the only Ascendancy class that has changed. The developers directly removed Raider in POE 3.25, and added a new class in its place: Warden. This class is largely inspired by its predecessor from Affliction League, but there are some changes.

Warden now focuses on Elemental Attacks, changing the behavior of Shock, enhancing Freeze, and replacing Ignite with Scorch. The class also has Barkskin, a skill that can be used to mitigate the physical damage of hits. After a certain number of hits, it increases your Evasion, making it a good defensive option.

Finally, the last thing a Warden can specialize in is Tinctures. These are the replacement for flasks in Affliction League. Players can only have one Tincture active at a time, and they require a melee weapon to use. Once activated, they provide powerful buffs. They can drop as magic items, or they can be modified with currency to provide additional bonuses.

Core Mechanic Improvements

In addition to Ascendancy class, the developers have revisited many of the core mechanics. After this update, players can easily access them through passive trees, skill gems, and simple items, avoiding all the powerful mechanics being hidden behind layers of complexity.

Endgame Content

The arrival of each league introduces a lot of exciting endgame content, and POE 3.25 is no exception! Let’s take a look at the countless changes coming to Settlers of Kalguur.

First and foremost, the developers are changing many of Scarabs. In addition, they have also added an additional Map Device Slot that will be unlocked after completing your first 10-Way Maven Encounter. This simply allows for more Scarab combinations to be used on the map, resulting in more difficulty and more rewards.

If you’ve seen the trailer, you should know that new special encounters will be added to Endgame. One of these encounters is Nameless Seer, who lurks in Tier 16 and 17 maps. This NPC will offer you a selection of unique items, and you can pick one up for free.

In addition, the developers have made some updates to several league mechanics, such as Blight and Ritual. Some Atlas Passive Skills have changed, and double-anointed Amulets can now drop in Blight-Ravaged Maps. They’ve also introduced a new type of oil that can only drop from Blighted and Blight-Ravaged Maps.

Quality Of Life Changes

Finally, we come to some of the quality of life changes that the developers have added to the new leagues.

You no longer have to interact with Waypoints to unlock a vault. You can just walk over and they’ll automatically activate. And you’ll be able to pick up items from farther away when using a keyboard and mouse.

They’re also looking into adding Static Life bars to some bosses. Not all bosses will have them at the moment, but more will be added over time.

You can now view Divination Cards dropped on each map by hovering over them in Atlas.

When you die, you can now revive without having to reactivate all reservation effects, such as Auras and Heralds. You can start Harvest encounters with just one action.

The amount of Quality provided by currency items like Whetstones is now based on item level, not item rarity. These currencies now apply 20% of the quality to very low-level items, and that amount decreases as the item level increases.

In short, Settlers of Kalguur is a very experimental league, and its new mechanics will completely change the way you play the core game. The above we have shared are just some of the core content in POE 3.25, and there are many more contents that have not been touched. If you want to experience all the gameplay, then please get ready and enter the game together on July 26!
